Sandbaggers, You're Busted!
March 10, 2010
‘Bust Sandbaggers with Rich’, yea that’s right! Sit at the finish line with Rich Christensen during the “PINKS: All Out Event” brought to you locally by McCain on Saturday, August 28, 2010 during the first round of time trials.
What is sandbagging? Sandbagging is when a driver deliberately races or qualifies slower than what the car can actually perform. And that’s not fair! If a racer is caught “sand bagging” he/she will be eliminated from the event automatically! No second chances! A racer will not be permitted to plea his/her case. All decisions are final! So racers ‘be warned’ you’re being watched! (continued)

Trick Truck
March 4, 2010
The track services division of Summit Motorsports Park has been busy with several projects over the course of the dismal season, and one of the results of their labor is going to shorten downtime for track cleanup by a bunch! The crew has just taken delivery of the completely rebuilt vacuum truck that you see in the picture here. This new machine will make a huge difference when it comes to cleaning and prepping the track. The oversized six-wheeled vacuum cleaner was even painted to match the rest of the fleet of track vehicles on hand. (continued)
Off The Wall
March 3, 2010
We are just six weeks away from the beginning of another season of racing, and if you’re feeling anything like I am, it can’t get here soon enough. It’s been a grueling winter here in the Great Lakes region, and the next time I see a snowflake, I’d prefer that it was on some whimsical postcard! So what do you look forward to? Is the national event on the top of your list, or maybe the NAPA Night Under Fire? Despite my overwhelming affinity for nitromethane, and nostalgia races, I’ve noticed that I spend more time looking forward to something a bit more home grown. I look forward to the points races!

Cheer Your Friends On At PINKS All Out

The odds are pretty good that you probably know someone who is racing here in the PINKS All Out program, August 27-28, or at least know someone that’s coming out to watch. With the number of people on their way here to witness this phenomenon, there shouldn’t be a racer in the place that doesn’t have their own cheering section! (continued)

Local Racers Heading To State Championships
February 28, 2010
We just learned that a couple of our regular Summit motorsports Park competitors have a new reason to celebrate. Kyle Lang and Phil Hurst, both Norwalk High School students, have been spending some of their off-season on the school’s wrestling team. Anyone that knows anything about that sport knows how tough it is. Despite the odds, both Kyle and Phil are headed to the Ohio State Wrestling Championships, March 4-6, at the Jerome Schottenstein Center, which is in the Ohio State University Campus in Columbus.

Super Chevy Shoebox Class Revision
February 26, 2010
Get out that bubbletop. Shine up that '57 Chevy. Tune the '55 Chevy so it's ready. The 30th anniversary season of the Super Chevy Show series is offering a category that will offer those jaw-dropping glances of a classic car racing down the drag strip. The Super Chevy Show's Shoebox category will make it possible for those classic Chevys of the past to do more than take a Sunday cruise down Main Street. This year, those classic cars can race down the track against other classic cars.
